| I mean they are cute, But even I can see the Patterns need some updating |
I had just started my crocheting journey as a beginner. and although I could crochet the items I was not at the stage of writing down the patterns for them. I think this little set shows my growth over the years, I was always able to crochet things if asked, but lacked the skill of writing them

BLp - Back Loops of the stitch.
Newborn
Hat circumference = 12”
Hat Height = 5”
Hat Width = 3.75”
NOTES: I wanted a large turn-up on the hat so I have made the chain LONGER than the length of the hat required. (I literally kept making a chain and folding up the bottom to see how it looked.
 |
| If wanting a FOLD UP brim please ensure you add in sufficient chains at the start to incorporate the fold up into the starting chains |
(Then remember to adjust accordingly how many green stitches and how many orange stitches you would like if you are making it bigger) For newborns, I wanted 5 sts in green.
When you turn your hat and change colors make sure all pieces of yarn are all kept on the backside.
